CONTAINER.

Application filed March 20,1926. Serial No. 98,117.

My invention relates to containers and refers particularly to containers adapted to contain commodities during shipment and to expose them when offered for sale.

The particular object of my invention is a cardboard-container of such shape and construction that commodities when enclosed therein will be free from danger of the container opening durin shipment and handling, and which may Ea readily converted into an open container for theexposure of the contents for sale pur oses.

It is evident that a container 0 this character should be firr'nl and safely held in closed position and t at means should be supplied whereby the two opened portions may be firmly bound together to present a firm device when in this position.

The device of my invention presents a device having aforementioned valuable properties, which is economically produced, easily operated and in which the open members are firmly attached to each other.

The-valuable properties of the device of my invention are evident upon'a consideration of this specification and the accompanying drawings.

n the accompanying drawings 1llustrating one form of the device of my inven- 80 tion similar parts are designated by similar numerals. 1:

Figure 1 is a perspective view of one form of my device in closed position.

Figure 2 is a plan oi t 86 the container is made. 1

Figure 3 is a cross-section through the line 3-3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is a perspective view of Figure 1 in open. or exposure, position.

4.0 Figure 5 is a cross-section through the line 5-5 of Figure 4.

Figure 6 is a cross-section through the line 6-6 of Figure 4.

'The blank of the device of my invention shown in Figure 2 comprises the back member 10 having the side member 11, scored at 12, and the two end members 13 and 14 scored at 15 and 16. A slit, or opening, 17 is positioned as shown. The back 10 and the front 18 are connected by the side 19, with scorings at 20 and 21. The side .19 has the two flaps 22 and 23 scored at 24 and '25 and is out, or separated, at 26 and 27. The front 18 is scored at 28. and has the extended locking members 29 and 30 scored at 31 and 50.

e blank from which The front 18 has the end members 32 and 33 scored at 34 and 35, a slit, or opening, 36b ing positioned as shown.

The member 33 has the two hook-shaped extensions 37 and 38 scored at 39 and 40. The front 18 has the side member 41 scored at 42. The side member 41 has the two flaps 43 and 4:4 scored at 45 and 46 and has the cut, or opening 47. The side member 19 has the angular cut 48 and the side member 41 has the angular cut'49.

Figures 1 and 3 illustrate the blank shown in Figure 2 when folded upon the scored lines, shown in dot-and-dash lines. It will be noted that that part of the device carrying the locking'members 37 and 38 forms a compartment within which the front 10 extends thus binding that portion of the device together while the member 30 inserted within the slot '17 binds together'the other portion of the device, the only portion requiring pasting or sealing together being portions of the side members 11 and 41. The device when in this position presents a firmly. closed receptacle for commodities, such as bottles. j

When the contained devices ,are'to be exposed for sale, the device is bent upon the scored line 28, as shown in Figures 4, 5 and 6. The lockin member 30 is removed from the slot 17 an inserted within 'thesiot 36. thus firmly binding the two members 10 arid 18 in openposition'. I It will'thus-be" seen that the cover member 32 and the locking member 30 retain the back 10 and the front 18 together in spaced relation when the device is closed. anrLthat the locking member 30 acts to retain the two compartments together. when the device is in open position. 95

I do not limit myself to the particular size. shape, number or arrangement of parts as shown and described as these are given simplyas a means 'for clearly describin the device of m: invention.

What I c aim is:-- p I 1. In a container capable ofbeing formed from a blank. in combination, a front, a back. a top, a bottom and two ends, a rearwardly and downwardly extended cover car- 105 ried by the front within which the upperv portion of the back may be. inserted when the .device is inclosed position, the front having a sco ring across its face allowing it to be folded forwardly forming two com- 319 cupabi of lowing it iii open position. Y

. 2. In a container capabie of being formed from 11 blank. in combinatiom a front, a

back, a top, nf'botiom and twoe'nds, a rearwardly, and downwardly extended cover cairiedby the front within which the up per portion of the back maybe inserted when the device is in. closecl position, the front having a, scoring across its face a1-- lowing it to be foldd forwardly forming two compariments in $119 device, :1 slot cw pzible of receiving a. locking flap and a locking flap carried by ihe bottom portion of the device capable of insmtion within a slot locking thegrlevice in opon position.

'3. In a container capable of being formeci from a blank, in combination, a from, n
